University of Southern Maine bans professor who offered credit for anti-Kavanaugh protest

The University of Southern Maine apologized Wednesday for the “rogue behavior” of a retired professor who offered credit for participating in a protest against Justice Brett Kavanaugh, announcing that she has since been barred from teaching at the university.

Susan Feiner, who retired in September but continued to teach some classes, offered students one credit for taking a pop-up course called “Engaged Citizenship,” which would bus students to Washington to participate in a protest urging Republican Sen. Susan Collins to oppose confirming then-Judge Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.

Yikes... a professor of “women’s studies” and “feminist economics” … who knew there was such a thing as “feminist economics?” Evidently it is a new thing.

There’s a slightly more flattering pic of her here:

http://www.womensmediacenter.com/profile/susan-feiner

“Her 2004 book, with Professor Drucilla Barker, Liberating Economics: feminist perspectives on families, work and globalization, was an “outstanding academic title.” Feiner is now focused on economic journalism for progressive social change. She has a monthly column in the Maine Sunday Telegraph.”

She belongs to a group called WEAVE. I wonder if it is women-financed or if it takes money from an old white guy like Soros?

Three Steps to Women’s Fair Share of the Recovery
By: Susan Feiner | January 28, 2009
The economic rescue plan must be bigger and more tailored to women says Susan Feiner. She speaks on behalf of a new group of economists, historians and other feminist scholars called W.E.A.V.E., or Women’s Equality Adds Value to the Economy.

Maybe they cut her loose, liberal as she is, since she doesn’t quite toe the party line...
